"Trust you. Period. You can trust people or you can't. It doesn't have to do with a promise." He shook his head. "You still don't get it. I would not have left the job! It doesn't matter that I don't want it. I still would have done it, because someone needs to do it and regardless of what everyone fucking thinks around here, I know that my name was the one thing that pulled us together, and now we're having some kind of farce Minister, your dear friend who will do what? Destroy what we have."
He scoffed. "You still think that it's about being stubborn. You're either blind or stupid and I know you aren't stupid. I was making a point, no special privileges for anyone when they can put us all at risk. It was about safety, everyone's safety, but apparently I'm stubborn, ridiculous and unable to be diplomatic. I can deal with you disagreeing with me, but I can't deal with you willing to put everyone at risk because your friend wants to take a walk."
